I tend to like strong teas, and love the flavors of both passion fruit and mango, yet found this tea a little weak,or too subtle, even when brewed with two bags per cup. I think the hibiscus (or is it the rose hips?) overpowers the fruit flavors, but if you like delicate tisanes, you'll enjoy it.

Licorice Spice has been my favorite herbal tea for years. Whenever I get a raspy or sore throat this tea soothes it away. It can be brewed as strong or as mild as you like and makes a great iced tea for summer. Predominately licorice flavored, it also has orange, cinnamon, anise and sasparilla, so it's naturally sweet. Also, my mother, who was diabetic, loved licorice but obviously couldn't have the candy very often. Licorice Spice allowed her to indulge in one of her favorite treats--and it became her favorite herbal tea as well!

Often "whimsical" teapots are designed for show rather than practical use--not so with this little guy! His round body is no doubt a teapot and his spout doesn't dribble (unlike some display teapots I have.) He's also classy instead of cutsie and brews over 20 ounces. A cup of good tea always brings a smile to my face and poured from Babar my mood is elevated as well. PS: I bought him with the Babar tea cosy (also beautifully designed) and will be on the lookout for cups or mugs!

Sometimes spiced teas are more spice than tea. Not so with this one--the balance is perfect. It's full of flavor, excellent both alone or with milk and honey, and the fact that it's decaf means I can enjoy a full-bodied black tea anytime of the day. This is not just an "autum and winter" tea; it also is delicious iced as well.
